routing project

[Keir]

Hi Javier,

I'd like to collect metrics about specific routes, and then use said metrics
to automatically feedback into the routing algorithm, so that it can use the
collected information to help determine the best path to a given node.  For
example, monitoring the reliability of a given link in terms of packet loss
etc.  So my project is not so much about measuring the overall performance
of the 802.11s stack, but more attempting to modify it to do slightly
smarter routing.  That said if this is a dumb idea then I will happily
change my project spec :)

Thanks for your quick response.
